Just did a quick Google search for it, it seems like you can pre-order the book on Amazon and there is even a pic of it.

Doesn't look like it will pass the IVA as it lacks things like head lights.

Oh, fair enough. Didn't realise it had been on there that long lol. I guess that means the pic might not be representative of the actual car then?

Just getting on with the 4th glassing of the nose and cockpit mold, tis tricky to get right as its such an awkward shape but is nearly there now. Engine cover is done and looking good. Chris is planning to come up next week and take the bodywork away with him and his planning to have the car complete by mid July, not sure about IVA'd though.

For front lights Chris original plan was to have fold away lights so that they can be moved away for track days but i believe he has gone back to fixed headlights now. Rear lights will be built into the rear arches - next job to do. So yes it will be IVA'd and on the road.

Last time i saw Chris, about 3 months ago, there was about 8000 pre orders for the book through Amazon - tis going to be like an avalanche when the book is launched. I'm sure Chris will post some pics when he is ready.

Getting close now.........:)

Goodo Andy...:) Talking about tricky shapes to mould I recently shuttered up a heavly modified Noble summat or other from which a racer and one road car are to be built, was supposed to have been helping Em and Ed with the new seat(which I did eventually) but fella in barn was due to go away in 2 weeks but had 4 weeks work to do first....:eek:


New seat?....ooooooo tis a cracker:cool:

8000 single seaters on the road...:eek:
